Yes Paul were both fine thanks
as normal fantastic paul so proud to have known you
Many thanks Grant, hope you and Tanya are both well.
❤
Good job!
Thank you Emil
This seems to of come from some sort of Jazz dream...somewhere over Moon River!!! A soft muted trumpet is just what some people need to soothe their tortured souls...
Many thanks @JpeterZoom-gt3pn, I like the idea of a jazz dream.
All is present in your playing, I thank you for your music. Be patient, be well, live a long life.
Many thanks @pauleywagscave, most appreciated.
amazing!
Many thanks @ernest
such wonderful music!
Many thanks, we also have a new Pavane album called Summer Lullaby on the UA-cam music channel that is in the same style.
such wonderful music!
another great CD, great music by great musician!
Thank you Beata, you might also be interested in my new album Summer Lullaby which is on UA-cam and other platforms.
Thank you Elizabeth, very kind of you to comment
Beautiful and respectful. I sound LPR each year and this touched my heart. Thank you.
Thank you Elizabeth. Apologies for the late reply!
Many thanks RoyalMail40 hopefully see you at one of the live shows if you can?
That sounds great.
Such beautiful music.
I love this tune so much - playing it all the time at the moment
Thanks Ros, glad your enjoying hearing it.
My goodness, loving this music, I first heard on sting ray. Thanks for sharing.
Another great solo, beautiful.
Really amazing!! This deserves so many more views.
Many thanks for that James (and also for subscribing)
bravo, reminds me of miles
Many thanks N GP. That's high praise for a trumpeter.
Just heard this for the first time on Jazz FM's Dinner Jazz. What a beautiful relaxing melody - wonderful stuff, fits my mood tonight perfectly.
+maidbloke Thanks for that. Yes Sarah Ward has been kind enough to play that track a number of times.
Paul, your playing reminds of the ethereal sound of Jan Garbarek (sax). If only Eberhard Weber (bass) hadn't had a stroke, you two would make a great combination. I'm now wondering how the guy is. Years ago, at the Queen Elizabeth Hall, he told me that his wife had MS, as mine did. What a situation.
Glasgow Brian Yes I love that floaty Jan Garbarek ECM style. Would love to do some choir and trumpet jazz someday.
As beautiful as ever. I want my grandson who is learning trumpet at school, to hear this. It knocks me out.
Glasgow Brian Many thanks for that Brian and I hope your grandson enjoys it too
When I next visit my Scottish homeland, this is the music I will hear in my head. It should be the soundtrack of a film. Beautiful.
Thanks Brian. I would love someone to use it as a film soundtrack too.
I bought your album on iTunes. I like 'Shadows and Desire' too :)
Many thanks musicaotan, I hope you enjoy it.
This is a beautiful sound and a wonderful image. It makes my heart warm.
Thank you musicaotan. To hear more, visit the iTunes Store itunes.apple.com/gb/album/pavane/id784496859
nice
Cool music and the video!! I'm glad that you like the photo.
Thanks Milos and for the use of the photo.
I really like this art form you've created... something to gaze at while listening is a great combination.
What a wonderful meditation on time, an unexpected delight in my inbox from Flickr... thanks for showing such a nice use of photo collage as a background to your excellent music. --Mike--
Thanks for that Mike and also for allowing your photos to be used in this way. The videos were all compiled for me by Jim Pooley.
